Nuclear War the Card Game Tournament

2pm Saturday May 6th

A comical cataclysmic card game for 2-6 players of all ages. A humorous confrontation between touchy world powers as each player attempts to sway his opponents' populations with diplomacy, propaganda, and finally nuclear weaponry. Little old ladies defect in electric cars and the dread SUPERGERM spreads devastation! Takes about 10 minutes to learn and about 30 minutes to play. Invented by Doug Malewicki in 1965 and published by Flying Buffalo, this game has remained popular for over 50 years.

3-4 rounds, depending on how many players.

Bring a copy of the game (Not the expansions) and you get to go first!

Historically, Battleship Div 9 of the US Fleet arrived in the North Sea on December 7, 1917 as part of the US’ effort in the Great War. At Britain’s request, we sent coal-fired ships. What if the US chose to guarantee the oil supply and sent the 4 newest battlewagons (as they did a few months later)? Will 4 Pearl Harbor veterans have their first rendezvous with destiny 24 years earlier?

Rome or Carthage will gain control of Spain in the hard fought battles of the Second Punic War. The game will be presented by the Ft. Leavenworth Area Gaming Group (FLAGG). The game will use the FLAGG ancients system with 6mm scale figure and feature a three dimensional game board utilizing Kallistra's hexon terrain.

One of the byproducts of the Napoleonic Wars was the Wargame with the creation of the Prussian training game Kriegsspiel. Join us as we combine concepts from the original Kriegsspiel, which dates from 1811, with techniques of contemporary computer driven wargaming using the innovative Napoleonic Carnage and Glory II ruleset. Set somewhere in 1813 central Germany, elements of the reformed Prussian Army clash with that of the newly reconstituted post 1812 French Army during the War of the 6th Coalition. With an emphasis on realistic command and control, this game combines both old and new wargaming for a unique experience. Oftentimes umpires have more fun than the players! Participants of all ages welcomed with no knowledge of the rules needed.
